Event Description: Maryland leads the nation in the protection of its natural resources, in part because of the policy enacted to protect the health of the Chesapeake Bay. But what jobs are available today where conservation meets agriculture and community needs, and how can we balance the environment’s needs with rural and urban communities? This networking session connects students and professionals who provide technical service so you can learn from their expertise about what it takes to get a job in their field.
